Garden nozzle with nice set of features

June 20, 2013

Recommended Product

I wanted to try this nozzle because it has a valve that stays open to let the water flow. My old sprayer requires a firm grip to keep the spring-loaded mechanism open and at the end of the day my hand gets very tired.
I like the variety of settings on this sprayer. With good water pressure, the different settings on this nozzle allow you to effectively water just about anything in your yard without damaging your plants or contributing to erosion. Anything from a gentle shower to a nice direct stream to power wash something. I use it to rapidly wash out, then refill, the bird bath in our yard. It does an admirable job of that task!
When attached to my garden hose, the gasket seal seems good, with little or no leakage, however I have almost lost the gasket when removing the nozzle from the hose. The gasket doesn't seem to stay within the sprayer housing very well, so be wary of that when removing this nozzle from the hose.
Some of the settings seem to produce quite a bit of turbulence within the sprayer housing. This can produce a moderate amount of noise and makes the sprayer housing vibrate, which I found uncomfortable to hold after some time. This can be moderated somewhat by cutting back on the water pressure at the hose bib, or by simply closing the valve on the nozzle somewhat.
I also found the straight through nature of the sprayer to be a little unwieldy. Especially when dragging 100 feet of garden hose full of water behind me. From a pure "comfort of use" perspective, I think I prefer a pistol grip style sprayer.
Overall this sprayer is constructed of good quality materials and works well in my garden. I believe most gardeners would be happy to use it.
